""One of our core philosophies for Marathon is that rapid repositioning and aggression must always have a meaningful cost. That cost can be an ability charge, heat buildup, or increased risk but it must exist and be understandable to an observer.""
""Unbounded movement, while expressive and clip-worthy, is ultimately unhealthy for the pace of play we want to maintain for Marathon. To set expectations early, we will be looking at any future movement exploits through the same lens.""
""Pinwheel is also getting re-tuned. The Destroyed Wing entrance is now re-opened, the security credentials needed to access the locked room in the Hub have been updated, and the Hub now also has bullet-proof glass.""
Bungie has addressed the slide-canceling exploit in Marathon with a recent patch, emphasizing the importance of meaningful costs for rapid movement. Players had been using this technique to gain momentum and outmaneuver opponents. The development team stated that unbounded movement disrupts the desired pace of play. Additionally, the Outpost area has been re-tuned, with changes including the reopening of the Destroyed Wing entrance, updated security credentials, bullet-proof glass, and improved loot quality, intensifying the gameplay experience.
